God's Love

God's Love

Paul prayed that the Christians in Ephesus would be able comprehend the “width and length and depth and height” of the love of Christ. I find these words from Ephesians 3:18 to be an amazing description of how vast God’s love is—a love Jonathan Edwards described as “an ocean without shore or bottom.” You know, it’s not uncommon for me to talk to people who feel like God is mostly mad at them, or sadly disappointed in them for some reason. The truth is, though, that He could not love us more. He went to the cross to prove it. Friend, just remember today that when you lift your voice in prayer, God smiles with delight. You are His beloved child. He loves you so much. Now that’s something to pray about!
